Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Stark County, OH

Our Stark County basement takes water only during fast, heavy storms. Is that still worth fixing?

It is, because water that arrives fast is usually surface water finding a path, and that path gets wider every year. Sometimes the fix is downspout extensions and regrading. Sometimes the footing drain has failed and needs to be replaced from inside. The inspection tells you which one you have.

A lot of houses around Canton have sandstone foundations. Do you work on those?

We do. Sandstone and rubble walls behave differently from block, since water moves through the joints more than through the face. We repoint where it is needed and put the drainage below the floor so the wall stops holding water. The approach is different, and the warranty is the same.

How long does a full Stark County basement system usually take?

Most interior drainage and sump installations here run one to three days depending on the linear footage and whether we are breaking through a thick slab. Foundation repairs vary more with the fix. We give you the schedule in writing before the crew shows up.

Is old coal mining under parts of Stark County a reason for foundation settlement?

Undermined ground does exist in pockets of the county and it can cause settlement, though it is far less common than plain soil movement. If we see a pattern that points that way we tell you and recommend the right specialist. Most Stark County settling we see comes from soft fill or a washed out footing.

Our sump pump in Stark County runs constantly in spring. Is that normal?

Constant running in March and April is common where the water table rises, and it means the pump is doing its job. What concerns us is a pump with no backup, because the same spring storms take the power out. We size the pump to the volume and add battery backup so the cycle never ends on your floor.
